Chapter 555: Expanding Space

Chen Heng is addicted to training troops, and his subordinates are naturally as good as possible. 【】|Overspeed update text chapter|Chen Yi supported him to expand the share of indigenous soldiers, and he didn't think much about it, so he went to recruit soldiers with great interest.

Xijiang's current field army is about 5 battalions, barely enough for half of the B division, which doesn't sound much, but if you count the reserve of nearly 20,000 martial arts academy students and more than 30 magic knights, the military strength is really a lot. If it continues to expand, it will actually exceed the need for defense.

After passing through the passage, the soldiers of the Western Continent were not only able to appear directly in the center of Jiangning, but also to appear anywhere Chen Yi set off, including Xijing.

In such a situation, the expansion of troops in excess of the need for defense means much, much more, not just an increase in strength.

It's just that no one has noticed it yet.

News of the recruitment of refugees spread quickly, and indigenous soldiers in riot armoured vehicles often showed up near slums and refugee camps to show off their might, and law and order quickly turned around the area.

The indigenous troops in the Western Continent are not as talkative as the inspection team organized by the martial arts cadets, and once there is a conflict, their first reaction is to shoot, so the number of casualties caused is really a lot. Whatever the reason, they often start cleaning the battlefield only after they can't stand up, and their behavior is not much different from that of foreign wars.

Da Yang, who also took care of law and order work, secretly encouraged this practice, and dismissed the benevolent martial arts cadets as "fΓΉ people's benevolence" and transferred them out of the observation unit. If there is no decisive army to kill, and 20,000 people are used to control 2 million people within a radius of 400 kilometers in half longitude, what is the difference between it and seeking death? These refugees are not often mixed with deserters who have retreated from the front line, and for the earthlings who have not exercised their physical skills, even if they are given a pistol, they will not be able to defeat the well-trained light infantry of the Western Continent within 100 meters.

If there is no strong deterrence, the West Malaysia market will be paralyzed in the first place, and even now the tension in the market has greatly increased.

When have refugees from the frontline seen so much supplies? On weekdays, when there is nothing to do, the refugees' favorite places to go are the docks and the West Malaysia Market.

Piles of metal hammers, 10-meter all-metal spears, and 3-meter-long sabers8

Meter-long elephant knives, 12-meter-long three-pointed two-edged knives, sacks of grain that can be carried on their shoulders to escape, bags of colorful soft and comfortable clothes, and food stored in tin cans and glass jars, they want more than the food inside.

The public market could not stop the influx of refugees, and the business of the merchants was affected, and naturally the people were dissatisfied.

The business of the West Malaysia market is getting more and more money, and the so-called public grievances are all the grievances of the big clans in various states, especially the large city-states along the Xijiang River, and it is not easy for the good days to be blocked by a group of damn untouchables.

The Water Dragon Temple was silent for two days, and approved it as promised, which can be called the fastest speed in history to confer the title of Great Sir. The great prestige that Iyaar gained as a result also contributed to his reputation in the temple.

A fifty-meter-high altar was built at the end of the canal.

Every time the Great Sir is awarded, it is a grand event, but Chen Yi's award is even more eye-catching because of Xijiang's unique status. The gentlemen from the earth still have curious eyes, and the people of the Western Continent who are here are terrified.

In a city-state like Marat, there were three great knights, not only powerful figures in the state, but also people who could speak at the altar of the temple, and because the great knights often went abroad with only their own soldiers, their authority was the authority that the temple had to guarantee, and refugees from wherever they came were feared.

After Iyar presided over the ceremony, Chen Yi issued the first Grand Sir Decree.

The five battalions of field troops, which had been prepared for a long time, all entered the wartime and patrolled back and forth in several key areas.

Chen Heng got on the helicopter and accompanied Chen Yi around the sky and asked casually: "Isn't there another Sir Silva in our Xijiang city-state?" Issuing orders in his name will buy you a few more days. ”

Chen Yi suddenly smiled and said, "Big brother, this is the process of establishing authority, how can it be easily faked by others. Liu Xinyu also said: "The crimes in the Xijiang City-State will be punished in the name of Sir Chen Yi and His Excellency the Divine Knight, and the newcomers will immediately understand who the principal in Xijiang City is." Chen Heng suddenly realized.

At the same time, there are many people who suddenly realize.

However, understanding what is going on does not mean that you can replace Chen Yi, or even get even a little bit of political power in the Western Continent. Whether it is the acquisition of the Great Sir or the Divine Knight, it is not an overnight achievement, there are lessons from Po Tan and Po Rong, and other families will also think twice.

After a silent month of November, when the excavation of the canal was almost over, the third son of the Zheng family first tried to apply for a fourth-class official.

The fourth-class official is the lowest-ranking civil official position in the Xijiang Public Office. The salary of more than 1,000 yuan per month is equivalent to that of an ordinary government clerk. But. By default, this position is divided between the Chen Martial Arts Gym students or the natives of the Western Continent. Since the families entered the Western Continent, more or less some of their children have entered the martial arts hall for further study, thus getting an official and a half-job, but no one has ever skipped the martial arts hall and applied directly.

Yu Wei supernaturally informed Chen Yi immediately, and imagined several versions of the rejection plan.

However, the express returned the word "to him".

"Agreed?" Yu Weichao sat in his office and fell into deep thought.

When the news came out, the Chen family rejoiced.

These families all started out on politics, and their understanding and hobbies of politics are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. A life without a little political power is enough for 1 hour and half a year.

If they don't have the opportunity to participate in politics again, they will probably go crazy.

Even if Chen Yi wants to organize a family business, he can't abandon these core family members of the Chen family. In fact, the Chen line is actually more constructed by these collateral families. They are not only the natural allies of the Chen family, but also the friends of the Chen family for many years, and the relationship between them is complex and close.

Unless the Western Continent maintains its current scale, Chen Yi will need their support, once the canal is completed, it will inevitably attract more people's peeps, and it is very important to reorganize the Chen family at this time.

A week later, the Zheng family's "little three" successfully entered the Xijiang City-State Office and became a fourth-class official with a glorious monthly salary blade copper coin.

The next day, countless applications flew like snowflakes to the PCPD.

Not only the younger generation, but also many uncles and aunts also hope to get an official position in the Xijiang city-state.

According to the tradition of the "Chinese" country, when the Xijiang city-state expands, there is no doubt that it will expand in the short term, and the current small officials will become a big party.

Some people can't help but start looking at the prospect of a colonial governor from afar.

Chen Yi laughed and let Yu Weichao arrange it. In general, the gentlemen and ladies who can enter the Chen Department are all elites for a while, let alone being officials in some aspect of the office, and there is no problem of ability to run the office.

Correspondingly, the students of the martial arts department were also nervous, and the efficiency increased greatly for a while, which accelerated the progress of the canal plan a lot.

Thanks to the excavation of the canal, so many refugees were accommodated. And the number of refugees is growing day by day. The tonnage of the passage is determined by the passage committee according to the amount of migrant workers owned by each family, and it is not too difficult to increase the number of people by 2 million to increase the amount of materials by 200,000 tons.

The food is mainly provided by the food companies of the Li family and the Liu family. Originally supplying the Temple War Front, they were able to produce 100,000 high-calorie military rations per week, but now they have repeatedly increased their production to 500,000 with the help of a series of construction waves. Non-portable cooked food is easier to supply, and the ingredients are made from Western Continent origin. The Li family also set up a factory to produce starch directly from plants, which could not only convert common ferns into starch and glucose, but also use many wild rhizomes and fruit plants, and the number increased with the size of the factory.

Although the shortage caused by the growing population caused the cost to rise, the increase in sales led to the rapid opening of one factory after another, and the Li family soon turned their attention to food production and, through Chen Yi, signed an agreement with Bishop Iyar.

The light infantry and heavy infantry during the Temple War were more used for garrisoning and occupation, and the cavalry, especially the heavy infantry team with fighting knights as the core officers, was the main force of the war.

The main limitation of how many cavalry the temple can organize into battle is its logistical capacity. Basically, no matter how much grain the Xijiang city-state provides, they can eat it, and the price is naturally satisfactory.

In this cycle, Chen Yi quietly returned to Jiangning and secretly held a Xijiang meeting that was limited to the participation of first-level affiliated enterprises.

After Chen Yi reiterated the confidentiality requirements, he said: "This order is mainly about ships and tonnage. I need to charter a large number of ships and tonnage, and anyone who signs a two-year charter can give me an unconditional increase of 15. ”

The 15 given for white is quite attractive, and after a while, someone asked: "Fixed-term charter or bareboat?" "Either way." Ship transportation is essentially a lease. There are three international models, time charter is a monthly charter, and bareboat is a ship owner who only provides the ship but not the crew. The third mode is the familiar fixed-voyage chartering, which charges for the voyage of the vessel.

After the establishment of the canal, it not only means that the carrying capacity of the channel has increased, but also means that the throughput of Jiangning port has increased significantly, which is a matter of course for the shortage of ship tonnage.

Even if Chen Yi can't use so many ships, it is still cost-effective to sell the charter.
